Wishful

I like them

Thanks guys.

Thank you for the info Ewe and patcher. I have actually bought the bobbins from sharp sewing based on their description on eBay ( not part no.) They seem to work ok but I actually want to buy some pre wound bobbins and thread exchange indicates G for my machine. I measured the ones I have and they seems to be L so I want to be sure I get the right pre wound bobbins. The measurements I am referring to is from the thread exchange guide : http://thethreadexchange.com/downloads/the-thread-exchange_bobbin-style-guide.pdf . The bobbins I got from sharp measure .359 in height when I measured with micrometer which makes them L according to chart. The diameter of L and G are similar but the height is different slight. I will probably call thread exchange but was hoping to have a definitive confirmation of proper size.

Hi, can anyone confirm what size bobbin the Chandler 67 GK373 takes? Various resources say type G (liek thread exchange) but when I bought some off ebay that claim to be for th Adler, they measure more like type L. I know many of you have/had this machine so any confirmation would be appreicated.

I am making a variation of this, they go for over 200 so I thought I would give it a go. The 10" was the smallest big pulley they had at the hardware store so I am going with it. I already have a few smaller Pullies. The advantage to this type is that the machine will still tilt back and it bolts into the existing holes. Hopefully it will work.... http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/X6UAAOxy7RBRYjjI/$T2eC16h,!yEE9s5jHPtcBRYjjIFHr!~~60_35.JPG Some tips found here: http://makezine.com/2014/01/30/bandsaw-speed-changer-reducer/

No problems here either and I have used them a lot.

If you are asking about what size the pulleys are I would say 9" and 3". There are a lot of variations. I am building one that has a 10 pulley and a smaller one that is a triple pulley that is 1.5,2.5 & 3 I believe.

Nice job, the like it

Nice job, they will like them.

Some servo motors lose their muscle and cannot punch through very well so a speed reducer will usually correct that. Does the problem occur with thinner material/leather?

I like it.

Nice, I need to make one too.

You can get about $8 at the recycle center but better to give it a new home.

Looks like you will have some fun with those old beauties.

I agree completely and have learned so much on this forum.

The models uwe suggested can be found on craigslist in the LA/Inland area now for $350-800. You would want to add a servo motor for about $150. Pm me if you want more specifics.

I Google "leather backpack patterns"' then click on images. Some will be free and others not. I downloaded this one recently http://danthelefty.deviantart.com/art/Leather-Backpack-Pattern-496867128

Looking good

I like it. I am in the process now of making one from a picture, figurin out the dimensions and order of operarokns first. I like the use of the binding on yours, did you do this on a machine?

Nice wallets

http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/model-list/classes-1-99.html You can find the manual for the 16-88 at the above link. Be sure you are using the correct needle system/size and it is threaded properly. Sometimes the frey can occur when the hook is too close to the needle or even out of time just a bit.

Welcome

I agree with the above.

Wow, that is very nice.

Ive seen them on ebay but they are not cheap
